Nice too, no need to be online.

Very Cool! Thanks. Yeah the Keyhole software also has no need to be online, and I think is better resolution, but it is not free (and not cheap). This is neat, thanks for the link.

P.S. I forgot to post as OT this morning...sorry.

How current are these pictures are they static or are they updated periodically. I just checked out my house pretty neat.

Yeah, google is sharing some kewl technology. Looks like the images are fairly recent (populated urban areas) or within a year old from what images of areas I viewed. Where as, some of the remote (rural) areas are a mix of old and new images.

Very cool... thanks for the heads up!

Very cool.

Only one thing though - when I drag to look at another part of the world, nothing but ocean. Does this mean USA is going to go it alone completely in the future and paddle it's own boat?

Come on Google There are other countries out there. Probably not down to resolution for USA but there must be satellite imagery that has some detail.

Google Maps is a Google service offering powerful, user-friendly mapping technology?including business locations, contact information, and driving directions?to anyone searching for results in the United States and Canada (more locations coming soon).

I figure since my friends house was built a year ago in a new suburb and it is still a plain field and no earthmover tracks there I would guess 1.5 to 2 years old. Trying to figure out some known dates of new buildings and then see if they are on the photo, I will update when I can close in on a date.

My house is as it was in the fall. I wonder how often they update it....

Dan

People with larger buildings and land could advertise with this for free.......It would be pretty funny anyways

The top of the building looks like it's been retouched for security reasons. If you look at 1 Observatory Circle, Washington DC, the entire area within the Observatory Circle ring road has been seriously pixelated.

Bset I can figure for Calgary Alberta the Picture was done June or July of

2003 as there is a new highway bridge under construction on County Hills Blvd, it was just poured in the photo and that was in June and july of 2003, now I have to find some more specific details to narrow it down, gonna see if I can pick the day it was taken, maybe (since I have friends at the ariport) by the arrangement of planes at the airport I can get it within the hour...?
